I will second that LibreOffice 4.0.2 from the LibreOffice 4.0 PPA resolves the aforementioned issues in Raring (13.04). Just today, LO 4.0.2 moved from -proposed to -release. However, installing LO on Precise (12.04) from the same PPA does not resolve all of the issues. The only problems I could find with using files via network storage after installing in Raring were related to WebDAV (not being able to open files directly from Nautilus, and not being able to save files that do not already exist). The same issues existed in Precise, with the addition of not always being able to open files on SMB/CIFS/Samba shares from within LibreOffice. A general I/O error is the result. Opening files from Nautilus worked fine, though. I would imagine that the major focus for bug fixes in LO at this point -- regular repositories or PPAs -- is Raring and later.

In this way I can not only use the print facilities but also use directly the network directories for opening, saving of documents. Since ubuntu 12.04 directories of windows networks have been integrated in the procedure for opening, saving of documents in Libreoffice. Directories available through open samba-connections thus are integrated in the list of directories on which docs can be saved. This was a great new features, since before 12.04 one had to save files on a local directory first and then move or copy them to the windows directory in Nautilus. After having done the upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 QQ this facility does not work as it should. The network directories are still shown and it it still possible to open a document. But is it not possible to save it and giving it another name. Another thing which had become impossible is to open a document from another source than the network directory (e.g. local directory, attached doc to a mail) and save it in a directory of the network server. When doing this the system gives the information 'Error saving the document #name#. The file does not exist' (see screenshot 1, text in italian). If one then presses the OK-button there is a second error communication with the following text: Error is saving the document #name#: General Error Generel I/O error (see screenshot 2, text in italian) I have checked whether the same kind of error also occurs in other programs, at least in Evince (pdf-reader). This is not the case. A last issue I want to report is that when one opens a doc (e.g. odt) from a network directory, modifies it and then save it, this seems to work. There is no error messsage. When checking by re-opening the saved document, in a few experiments I did the modifications were not saved. In nautilus the date indication of the file also remained the same. In other experiments however the saving of the documents with the modifications seemed to work as it should. conclusion: the integration of network directories in LO has become unreliable, with a high risk of loss of information for the user.
